Hotel Dock Suites Rome

Just back from 4 night stay at this little gem, room was a junior suite and very spacious with great aircon which was appreciated given the heatwave.We didn't book breakfast as we were out early every morning but some free croissants were left in the room daily which was nice, It's located out of the city but metro is a 3 minute walk away and you are in Termini in another couple of minutes. Staff were extremely helpful and pleasant and spoke quite good English. Plenty of shops, bars and cafe's nearby. There is a superb restaurant near enough next door called Gran Sasso which was superb and quite cheap for Rome, we ate there 4 nights in a row.

I recently stayed here with my young family as a base to explore Rome. We initially walked to the hotel from Termini (you will likely get the bus here if coming from Ciampino airport) in little over 20 minutes. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly, allowed to check in early and given a map of sites to see during our stay. The room was comfortable, clean, warmly styled in a wooden panel design and had everything you need including extra pillows, plenty of towels, a wonderful jacuzzi bath (excellent for after a long day of exploring), tea and coffee, free snacks and a fridge with reasonably priced snacks to buy but also plenty of room if you wished to buy from a nearby grocery shop. We then walked to the Villa Borghese in around 30 minutes, and after visiting the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain (wonderful at night) we walked back in around 20 minutes, always feeling safe. On our second day we started using the Metro, Policlinico station (B line) is about a 5 minute walk from the hotel, you are 2 stops (max 10 minutes) to Termini where you can get the A line to sights such as Vatican City, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps or if you stay on the B line your 5 stops total (15 mins) from the Colosseum. There are restaurants nearby, we liked a pizza place called Mastro Pizza where on our first visit we got 4 decent sized slices of pizza, 3 soft drinks and a Peroni for €15.... On check out day we were allowed to leave our luggage and spend another day exploring before nipping back on the metro, grabbing our gear then travelling the 2 stops to Termini for the bus to the airport. The price paid for this hotel represented excellent value for money, location was well connected by the Metro and not unreasonable for walking and the staff were helpful and gave a warm welcome regardless of the time of day.
